The bottom line

Only about 15% of Carpet Installers is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Although estimating and scheduling utilize Segment 43 IT tools (18 tools, prior=0.85), the core value-producing work is overwhelmingly manual. This is heavily grounded by top Work Activities like 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.59) and 'Handling and Moving Objects' (4.47), alongside intense physical Work Contexts such as 'Spend Time Using Your Hands...' (4.73) and 'Spend Time Kneeling, Crouching, Stooping, or Crawling' (4.46). The digital scalar is low, reflecting that software only assists in orchestration while the installation remains strictly physical.
